David Parry Davies, founder of The Enviropaedia and initiator of the awards in 2011, is happy with both the high calibre and number of entries this year. "The number of entries increased substantially this year with many coming from Gauteng.

"There are an increasing number of businesses and individuals who are leading the way towards a more sustainable and ecological way of living and working through their products, services and initiatives. One of our objectives is to create awareness that as consumers, we hold the power of the purse and that through our spending decisions we can support those organisations that are making a positive difference, or penalise those that do not care for the wellbeing of our planet. Every cent spent will either help support or destroy our planet, so we would like the public to know this and use their spending power constructively."

Jason Drew, eco- entrepreneur and author, is the keynote speaker at the gala dinner. The event is made possible by the sponsorship of Airports Company of South Africa (ACSA), Avis, RISO, Department of Environmental Affairs, Paarl Media, Plastics SA, Rand Water, SAB Miller and The Enviropaedia.
